AbstractThis study focused on realizing fire retardancy for polymer composites by using a cellulosic biofiller and ammonium polyphosphate (APP). The motivation of this study was based on revealing the mechanism of the synergetic effect of a cellulosic biofiller and APP and determining the parameters required for achieving a V-0 rating in UL94 standard regardless of the kind of polymer system used. As for the polymer matrix, polypropylene and polylactic acid were used. The flammability, burning behavior and thermal decomposition behavior of the composites were investigated through a burning test according to the UL-94 standard, cone calorimetric test and thermogravimetric analysis. As a result, the incorporation of a high amount of cellulose enabled a V-0 rating to be achieved with only a small amount of APP despite the variation of the optimum cellulose loading between the matrix polymers. Through analysis, the results indicated that APP decreased the dehydration temperature of cellulose. Furthermore, APP promoted the generation of enough water as a nonflammable gas and formed enough char until the degradation of the polymer matrix was complete. The conditions required to achieve the V-0 rating were suggested against composites incorporating APP and biofillers. Furthermore, the suggested conditions were validated by using polyoxymethylene as a highly flammable polymer.

Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer

In our previous work, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) microcapsule with the shell of boron modified phenolic resin (BPF) was prepared, recorded as BPFAPP. However, the compatibility and the flame retardancy of BPFAPP in thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) are still not very good due to the brittle and hard shell wall. To improve the brittleness of microcapsules shell and the property reinforcements of APP in TPU, APP was encapsulated with the tung oil and boron modified phenolic resin (TBPF) in this paper, recorded as TBPFAPP. The property reinforcements of TBPFAPP in TPU were studied. The thermogravimetry, limiting oxygen index and cone calorimetry analysis showed that TPU/TBPFAPP composite had higher char yield and better flame resistance. The tensile strength and elongation at break showed that the mechanical properties were also significantly improved due to the introduction of α-Eleostearate.
